New to this forum...there's a couple of tunes that I've been trying to trace for over 10 years. God knows how many record shops I've scoured - and it doesn't help that I've no idea what the tracks are, and that I'm pretty ignorant about d&b anyway, despite being a d&b punter in years gone by.

They're probably both of the same vintage as Unknown Origin's Valley of the Shadows, since it's on a same tape of cadged tunes that I put together in the mid-90s. The samples from Aliens in the first track aren't part of the record.

The 3rd track is completely off-topic, in case there's anyone out there who knows their reggae - it sounds like it might be Burning Spear, but again it's a beautiful track that's proved elusive, (for over 20 years)

If anyone can help, you'll make an old fogey very happy.

Old skool tune 1:

The links seem to work or not depending on which computer I use to access the forum, so I don't know what's going on there. Here's a rapidshare link, rar file with just the 2 old skool tunes:

http://rapidshare.com/files/256827423/Old_skool_tunes_ID.rar

If the link doesn't show up, paste "/files/256827423/Old_skool_tunes_ID.rar" into the browser, and prefix with "rapidshare.com"

I heard both tunes played a few times at Notting Hill carnival, as well as in clubs, where they went down well - and they were doing the rounds in mix tapes around 1995-6. So they shouldn't be completely obscure.

Zippyshare links again, if you want to just listen to the tunes: "zippyshare.com/v/2474870/file.html" and "zippyshare.com/v/57371108/file.html", each prefixed with "www7".

Found tune 2: Desired State, Beyond Bass.

Still no idea about tune 1. It must be from 1993, I don't think it's from Ram & Andy C as I checked their early releases on youtube. Any help out there?

I'm getting rid of a lot of non-vinyl - anyone interested in mix tapes from mid-90s, in reasonable nick? Yours if you want them:
Bukem - Rebirth - one of his ambient d&b sets, it has it's moments
Bukem - 2 tapes - Fusion & Chill Out II - Fusion heats up nicely, includes classic DJ Rap & Aston, Get Rushed. Chill Out II is what it says on the box - dull
Fantasia Jungle 2 - 3 tapes - Grooverider, Bukem & DJ Rap.
 
ID-ed them

Found tune 1 now: Acro, Superpod.

If anyone wants those tapes, let me know, otherwise they'll go to the charity shop.

Cheers
